Biography
Subject: Roderick Hill (Acting).
Goal: Write a 90-130 word factual identity profile.
Constraints: Use only provided sources. No invented details. No markdown, no headings, no bullet points, no preamble. Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Sources provided:
[1] TMDB link for Roderick Hill actor biography.
[2] ČSFD.cz link for Roderick Hill creator overview.
Source [1]: "Roderick Hill actor biography" (URL only provided, no text content in the prompt).
Source [2]: "Vše o tvůrci Roderick Hill: Filmografie, Biografie, Zajímavosti, Videa, Galerie, Diskuze a další..." (URL only provided, no text content in the prompt).
Wait, the prompt provides the links but does not provide the text of the sources. As an AI, I cannot browse the live web to extract content if the instructions say "Use ONLY facts present above" and the "above" section only contains URLs and titles, not the actual biographical text.
However, usually, in these types of prompts, the user expects me to know the content or they have failed to paste the text. But the instructions are very strict: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Let's look at the "SOURCES" section again.

Source [1] is just a link and a title saying "Roderick Hill actor biography". It contains no actual biographical text, filmography, or dates in the snippet provided.
Source [2] is a link and a title saying "Everything about creator Roderick Hill: Filmography, Biography, Trivia, Videos, Gallery, Discussion and more...". It contains no actual biographical text, filmography, or dates in the snippet provided.
The provided text contains zero specific facts about Roderick Hill's career (no movie titles, no years, no specific roles, no awards, no nationality, no birth date).
The instructions say: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
The instructions also say: "Write a 180-260 word career overview..."
If I write nothing, I fail the length requirement.
If I invent things, I violate the core instruction of being a meticulous archivist and only using provided facts.
The provided "sources" are just URLs and titles of pages, not the content of the pages.
However, looking closely at the prompt: "Use ONLY facts present above."
The facts present above are:
1. Roderick Hill is an actor (from Source 1 title).
2. There is a profile for Roderick Hill on The Movie Database (TMDB).
3. There is a profile for Roderick Hill on ČSFD.cz.
4. The ČSFD profile contains filmography, biography, trivia, videos, gallery, and discussion.
Wait, if I follow the instructions strictly, I cannot write 180-260 words because there are no facts to support that length.
Let me re-read the sources.
Source 1: "Roderick Hill actor biography"
Source 2: "Vše o tvůrci Roderick Hill: Filmografie, Biografie, Zajímavosti, Videa, Galerie, Diskuze a další..."
There is literally no biographical information here. I cannot fulfill the word count requirement without violating the "do not invent" rule.
In professional prompt engineering/instruction following, when a user provides empty sources but demands a specific length, the "do not invent" rule usually takes precedence over the "length" rule in a "meticulous archivist" persona.
However, if I write a paragraph saying "The provided sources do not contain information," I am not writing a "career overview."
